PETER GRONQUIST SOLO SHOW









Peter Gronquist faux-designer weaponry art exhibition, titled "The revolution will be fabulous: A weapons of mass designer show" took place in LA at the 1988 gallery. I'm not really a fan of designer goods or trademarks implemented into usual items, for example Louis Vuitton(loo-E-vo-WE-ton) and Gucci(GOO-chi) faux-monograms being used on fake Nike's. I can appreciate this event for its use of real weaponry and level of quality. Some have interpreted this show as a symbol of anti-consumerism and revolutionary. I can only say the most harm or slightly negative influence would be the humor of these high designer labels on now inoperable weapons. These pieces were also for sale after the exhibition.
